Why do parents never come visit their kids in their exciting new location? And why do kids as grown adults never seem to travel anywhere but to see parents?

It's cold outside, so here is a random picture of a Tom cat that wandered onto the farm. There is a little house we have just for him and another female cat unfortunately, because this is the country there is a lot of animals wandering around, including wild cats one has found it's way into Buttons house (the cat's name) and is trying to claim his space as his own. The cat purrs when you just walk near him.

I am not looking up any statistics when I ask this question, but from generally running into a lot of people I notice that if I were to ask any typical person who did not grow up traveling places or whose parents did not travel they tend to stay close to home or it be a big deal or commemoration or milestone to get on a plane and go to a land that is maybe 500-1000 miles away from home. Or it's a big deal to visit the big city in their state or province. Who knows....It's a question I've asked people often and I seem to get the answer "In all the time I've been here my parents have not come to see me once but I go see them." and I ask if it's a money issue and usually the other person indicates that it is not, so I ask "Do you ever intend on visiting another country in the next year?" and usually the response is no. I was told a few times that people are afraid of traveling while other people who are even more seasoned of a traveler then myself ask me why anyone would want to stay in one place there is literally a whole world out there, and there is, so whoever reads this get out, travel, save your money and whatever excuse you may have, I am not a fan of adrenaline pumping activities but a large part of my age group is, but not me, yet I do things that people consider scarier then skydiving....I travel to places that are FAR away from home, often times alone. Granted I have to plan way ahead to do it and have somewhat of an idea when I get there what I will do and certainly where I will stay but parents should make an effort to explore with their kids a new environment, it creates countless memories and more bonding, during a time especially after the kids have left the nest. It can make one feel nostalgic and what a good feeling nostalgia is, and one that should be held onto in the moment so that it may be cherished long after the time has passed. Take pictures, as many as possible, even if you think you look stupid so what? But don't get so focused on it that you let the moment pass you by, which naturally when one is enjoying themselves I feel you'll know the difference. So once again I encourage travel, don't be scared the world is out there to be discovered even if you are alone or with family both can be enjoyed just as much. Either way your bound to meet new people, try new foods and have bragging rights to less seasoned travelers, family and friends, who knows you may inspire someone to push themselves out the door and into new experience.
